Revv Amplification Shawn Tubbs Tilt Overdrive Black Edition

The Tonal Culmination of a Lifetime in Music.

The Revv Shawn Tubbs Signature Tilt Overdrive is the result of over a year of rigorous R&D to capture the "perfect" recorded guitar sound. Developed with legendary session ace Shawn Tubbs, this pedal isn't based on a single amplifier; instead, it distills the best attributes of various rare vintage and boutique amps into a dual-engine powerhouse. Hand-built in Canada and featuring a stunning charcoal black metallic finish with custom laser-etched graphics, the Tilt Overdrive is designed to be the centerpiece of a high-end fly-rig or a surgical tool for the world's finest studios.

Touch-Sensitive Amp-Voiced Drive
The "Drive" side of the pedal offers an incredibly organic, medium-gain overdrive that responds instinctively to your guitar’s volume knob and your picking attack. With independent Bass and Treble controls, you can dial in anything from a "glassy" edge-of-breakup to a thick, singing solo tone. It captures the unique sag and power-amp engagement of a cranked small-box head, providing a balanced midrange—described by Shawn as "4x12 in a box"—that ensures you never sound thin, even when playing through a small combo or direct-to-digital setup.

The Original Tilt Boost Engine
The second engine is the highly acclaimed Tilt Boost. This circuit solves the "low-end bloat" common in traditional boosts by utilizing a unique Tilt EQ knob. Turning the knob clockwise adds chime and brightness while simultaneously tightening the bass, while a counter-clockwise turn adds warmth and body. With a dedicated 3-position Tight switch, you can further sculpt your low-end independent of the EQ. Because the boost is placed before the drive circuit, engaging it will not only increase your volume but also add a rich layer of harmonic saturation to your drive tone.

Pro-Level Switching and Connectivity
The Tilt Overdrive is as smart as it is musical. It features a "secret" switching mode: holding the Drive footswitch for 1.5 seconds allows you to toggle both sides on or off simultaneously. You can also program the pedal to power up in any state (Drive on, Boost on, or both). With internal 18V operation for maximum headroom, silent relay switching, and top-mounted jacks, it is the most refined and practical "double pedal" available for the discerning tone seeker.
